The pushing icon I believe triggers at &lt;3 mph. <br /><br />Big E, thanks, but I really didn&#39;t feel like I had a choice. If it was a trail race and I had no more food or water, I would have had to drop on the spot and move toward the nearest exit point, plodding along at a max speed of 1.5 mph. It was a decisive bonk, which is rare for me, and humorous because I thought I was heading out for a chatty stroll with my friend.Jill Homerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-66245590222325380962012-03-23T08:44:35.358-07:002012-03-23T08:44:35.358-07:00I know it may seem odd coming from a stranger.

Knowing your body and acting accordingly is so important in endurance sports. It shows a confidences and self awareness.

But of the pursuits I&#39;ve dabbled in, none are so dominated by unpredictable and uncontrollable factors such as weather and trail conditions as winter endurance racing. I could put it a hard effort and finish in 16 hours, or I could put in an even harder effort and finish in 36 hours. That&#39;s a wide margin in which to prepare for both basics (such as training and nutrition) and larger risks (such as frostbite.) <br /><br />I&#39;ll let Ed know you said hi. Have you been back to Fairbanks to visit since you moved away?Jill Homerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-49542374587265222532012-03-22T17:42:45.115-07:002012-03-22T17:42:45.115-07:00One could argue that we have to expect anything in...One could argue that we have to expect anything in all pursuits, winter or otherwise. Of course, the risks for each one are different and varied (frostbite, bears and mountain lions, people that wish to do us harm, mistakes in fueling or resting).<br /><br />Enjoy the race!
